Full Moon's streaming service has teamed up with Blue Underground, and added a bunch of their titles. There's some pretty good stuff in there - Tombs of the Blind Dead and it's sequels, Don't Torture a Duckling, Black Belly of the Tarantula, and some more giallos I haven't seen but have been meaning to check out. Full list here: http://www.fangoria.com/new/full-moon-streaming-teams-with-blue-underground/ Has anyone actually tried Full Moon streaming? Unless the quality is total poo poo it seems like it might be worth it now, at least for a month or two.

Irritated Goat posted:I generally agree. I loved everything about it until that last bit. It wasn't necessary and just ruined the atmosphere. I adore that movie and the ending was redeemed ever so slightly by the ghost of Chris Kattan but yes, that entire ending sequence and the effects involved kills so much goodwill, it's a drat shame.

DeathChicken posted:I actually really do like the House on Haunted Hill remake. It generally gets crapped on, but I thought it was one of those rare movies that was just silly enough to disarm you, then it would bust out some genuinely scary poo poo when you weren't expecting it. Geoffrey Rush as Vincent Price is worth the price of admission.

So some friends of mine found this epic brick and mortar video rental store, and they have tons and tons of stuff. So, naturally, we decided that we're going to rent about four movies and do a marathon. A marathon of what? Horror movies. In particular, non-American horror movies. We're looking for really great international horror movies. Stuff that isn't on Netflix streaming, because otherwise we will have watched it. Two of our slots are already filled: 1) House, the 1977 Japanese horror film by Obayashi. 2) Ring, the 1998 Japanese horror film by Nakata. I thought I would turn to the wisdom of the internet to help us figure out what else we should try to get our hands on. So, goons, what films should fill out our list? Anything non-American, and not currently or recently on Netflix streaming will fit the bill.

Full list here: http://www.fangoria.com/new/full-moon-streaming-teams-with-blue-underground/ Oh that's awesome. The investment of my GF getting me a year's subscription for xmas just keeps paying off. The quality of the streaming seems fine. It's not HD level, but it's as clear as it'll probably ever be without high-tech HD remastering processes. Also, they never get rid of movies, only add more with a couple added each week. If you think you'll get around to it later you won't miss out on anything. There's the regular Full Moon section, a small section for the New Moon family line they did in the 90's, and there's a "grindhouse" section for stuff that's not Full Moon but they were able to grab rights to, whether because it's cheap, or because Charles Band had a hand its creation. They keep hinting that the Empire catalogue will slowly be added in, with montage ads for the site showing stuff from say, Troll and From Beyond. Crash and Burn is already on the site. Also, they have a "Wizard Pictures" relaunch where people can submit their indie low budget features, and Full Moon will distribute them. This is basically them horning in on the market that Troma has been the leader in for the past nearly 40 years. (Seriously, that's like 85% of what Troma has EVER done). Also, they've been starting to debut new Full Moon flicks exclusively on the site. So far that's included "Gingerdead Man vs Killer Bong" and "Killjoy goes to Hell". Also, when I got my subscription, I got 6 free blu-rays. A 6 month subscription gets you 3. You could do worse for less than 70 bucks. Zwabu posted:Phantasm II is available via Cinemax on demand streaming. Will it screw anything up watching this if I haven't seen the original film? Well, if I recall correctly there IS a brief summary at the beginning, but you are really better off seeing the first (and best) one first. This is a series that uses continuity and assumes you've seen the previous entries. Kvlt! posted:Speaking of Ed Gein, the other day I met one of the psychiatrist's who treated him, it was actually really interesting. As others have said, the second is worth a watch, but is completely different from the first film. Basically Tobe Hooper is reacting to the very wrong and exaggerated criticisms of the first film and going ahead and making the film that all the outraged critics thought they saw. It's outlandish with plenty of gore and black humor. The third film is rather boring in my opinion. There are a few good ideas, like taking the idea of the cannibal family to its extreme and including a child, and Viggo Mortisen does as good a job as he does in anything else. Also, there's one great moment where Leatherface is playing with one of those old kids learning electronic toys that pretends its a computer and can't figure out why the picture of a person keeps telling him the answer of "FOOD" is wrong. And I think I'm the only person on the planet that honestly enjoys the fourth film. It has a lot of weird stuff going for it and tries for a totally different direction of explanation behind things that gets really weird. And Leatherface dressing up in full drag while he listens to Marlene Dietrich just makes me happy in the weird areas off my brain.

Count me as another who digs the 4th TCM movie, if only for the batshit insane performance Matthew McConaughey gives. I actually like all the TCM movies, one of the few Horror franchises that doesn't have one movie I hate.

Profondo Rosso posted:The best horror movie of the 90's was actually Candyman. I concur. Also, since "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" wasn't really released until 1990, I'd argue that's a prominent 90's horror film as well to add to the list.

Wilhelm Scream posted:The best Horror movies of the '90s in no order based on my generally questionable taste and ratings: Based on the list, I'd probably give it to Scream, Candyman, Ravenous, Dead Alive and Blair Witch Project. Admittedly, I haven't seen My Boyfriend's Back, Frankenhooker, or Idle Hands yet, so my argument is invalid as gently caress. Let us not forget Jacob's Ladder, Event Horizon, Arachnophobia, Cube, It (not that great, actually), some Lynch, and a bunch of foreign stuff, including Audition, the Ring, I Stand Alone, Cemetary Man, Man Bites Dog, Ghostwatch, and a bunch of other stuff.

Event Horizon just barely missed making that list, I gave it an 8/10 and I only included 9 and 10s, I should give it a rewatch though. Another one that might make the list with another viewing is Nightbreed, it's been a goddamn long time since I saw it. Not a fan of Cemetery Man though

I have been binging through slashers with a friend as of late and I'm curious to know if there are any other dubious-to-good ones set in a camp/forest/cabin environ outside of the usual suspects (F13th, Just Before Dawn, Sleepaway Camp, Evil Dead I guess etc) ? Also have there been any slashers set in the distant future? Only ones we could think of were Jason X and Hellraiser 4 though I guess they're technically set in space.

Like, how are you gonna top a movie that opens with a woman being filleted from vagina to sternum, and yet it does that time and again. I also love how the tone of the thing is exactly what you'd expect if you told somebody they were watching a combination giallo/1980s NY exploitation slasher. That movie knows exactly what it is. Now to get ahold of the original Maniac and some more Fulci stuff.

I liked the original just fine, although it got slow in places. The remake's gimmick works so well, the music is great, the gore is great. Can't speak highly enough about it. except the fact he was a third generation mannequin salesman and restorer. That made no sense. I much preferred the idea of the guy just buying mannequins

I hear good things about Body Double as well. Body Double isn't the best DePalma, but it is the most DePalma. If there's something you love or hate about him, chances are it's in Body Double amped up to an absurd degree. It's a big goofy lark and I enjoy it quite a bit. Raising Cain isn't really horror, and it's pretty terrible by any reasonable measure (it's even ugly as hell, and that's usually something you can count on DePalma getting right even if he messes everything else up), but the whole thing hangs on John Lithgow giving the hammiest performance of his life and for that it's a goddamn treasure. If the phrase "multiple John Lithgows trying to out-act each other with progressively sillier voices" doesn't do it for you then you can safely skip this one.
